CH 13

“…And it looks like I’ve finally arrived.”

It was a Saturday weekend, I’m currently in front of a certain house early in the morning.

A two-story house with a magnificent gate… Do you know whose house is this? As you’ve guessed, I am in front of Shinjo’s House.

Because, ever since I got to know these girls, they kept inviting me over and over again to meet their mother and to thank me for that time.

“Maybe I was a bit early…”

There was really no need to thank me for what I did, but it surely hurt me seeing their disappointed faces when I repeatedly turned them down.

After running out of patience, I decided, or rather agreed to come over to their house just for once.

Of course, I knew where the house was. Since it was in my neighborhood, I had no trouble finding my way around.

I stood in front of the front door and reached for the intercom.

“…Relax, don’t be so nervous. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

My fingers are shaking as if to express my nervousness. Any high school boy would be nervous about the prospect of visiting a family of beautiful ladies, let alone just two beautiful sisters.

I then pressed the intercom since I had made up my mind.

Then, after a slight pause, the door opened.

“Welcome, Hayato-kun!”

It was Aina who came out.

She was dressed warmly as I was, probably because it was November and it’s getting a bit cold. She was wearing a long-sleeved sweater in white, but… I could tell that it was oversized compared to her figure.

“Hm? Is something wrong?”

When Aina tilted her head, her b*****s shook in the same beat. I managed to get rid of my wicked thoughts that said, “They are indeed pretty big!”

“Nothing. Good morning, Aina.”

“Good morning, Hayato-kun. Thank you for coming today. Please come inside!”

“Excuse me.”

She took me by both hands and pulled me straight into the house. I had an unpleasant recollection of this place.

Because of the incident, I knew the structure of the house to some extent, if only the first floor.

“Somehow Aina, it looks like you’re having fun?”

“That’s true. Because Hayato-kun, you finally came, you know? Both me, my sister and mother have been waiting for you for a long time now.”

“I think that’s… too much eagerness.”

But maybe that just shows how much they feel they owe me for helping them back then.

To be honest, I didn’t really need such a thing, and it’s my choice to not be thanked for, but would that mean that I’m disregarding their kindness? I don’t have any experience in this field, so I don’t really know what it feels like. [1]

Aina took me by the hand and led me to the living room, where two women greeted me.

“Sister, Mother, Hayato-kun is here!” [Aina]

“…If it were really him, I would have been there to greet him myself… Welcome, Hayato-kun.” [Arisa]

“Thank you. Am I interrupting something, Arisa…?” [Hayato]

One of them was, of course, Arisa.

She was wearing a one-piece dress, though it was still a warm fabric like Aina’s. If anything, I feel like there is a big difference between the two of them here.

As if trying to compete with Aina, Arisa came next to me, but suddenly I felt a certain gaze more intense than these two, I then turned my attention to that person.

She was a woman, a frighteningly beautiful woman, much like Arisa and Aina, dressed in a sweater like Aina’s, she was staring straight at me. I could almost see her figure line that surpassed both of them because I could see the unevenness of her body so well. She also has beautiful black hair that extends down her back, giving her the impression of a Yamato Nadeshiko (an ideal Japanese beauty).(E/N: Yoshaaa!!!!!!!! Long hair nanoda!)

She must be the mother of these two girls,

Sakuna Shinjo.

I may have mentioned this before, but I’ve never actually spoken to her once. I’ve only seen her from a distance, but seeing her again this way… she is certainly the mother of the two. She was really a beautiful mature woman, I can assure you of that.

“…So it was, you.”

She walked over to me, looking very impressed. Then she bowed her head in a beautiful gesture.

“Thank you so much for what you did for us back then. I didn’t know what would happen to me and my daughters if you hadn’t saved us at that time. It could have been worse than being ravaged.”

As a woman, to have one’s body defiled would be synonymous with having one’s dignity taken away. That’s unforgivable, but it actually could’ve been worse, they might have been killed.

Oh well, I guess I saved their life in a way… Well, that doesn’t mean I consider myself a hero.

Arisa and Aina stood next to their mother as she kept bowing her head. And they bowed their heads in the same way.

“Thank you so much, Hayato-kun.”

“I owe it all to you. Thank you.”

“… Err.”

The uncomfortable feeling of being bowed down by three women is troubling.

I panicked, but I opened my mouth to ask them to please lift their heads.

“That… I just did what a human is supposed to do. So please don’t bow in front of me, I’m just glad with the fact that you all were safe. Isn’t that good enough?”

“…But”

Arisa and Aina smiled knowingly as I said those words, but their expressions also told me that their mother, Sakuna-san, would not agree to that. So, I know this may seem a little rough, but I put my hand on Sakuna-san’s shoulder and forced her to look up at me.

“I just received your thanks. You were all safe, and you didn’t suffer any emotional wounds from that incident that will never heal… right? The fact that Arisa, Aina, and you are able to live a happy life is the best repayment I could get from you.”

“…Ah.”

Sakuna-san rolled her eyes at my words.

‘Nothing bad has happened and you all are safe, so please, don’t bow down anymore. I’d rather have you smile than bow.’ I smiled the biggest smile I could muster to convey my feeling that it was nothing to worry about.

“So please keep smiling, that’s all I am asking for. Of course, so do Arisa and Aina, okay? I mean, I’m not good at this kind of situation, I can’t stand it… So I’m going to wear the pumpkin mask again.”

It’s not in my nature to say such sassy lines. I did something I don’t usually do, so I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Seeing me scratching my cheeks, Arisa and Aina giggled, and Sakuna-san stepped forward and took my hand.

“I understand… But let me thank you one more time. Thank you for your kindness.”

Sakuna-san held my hand for a while as if she were handling a treasure.

Although it feels like a perk to be stared at by a very beautiful woman who looks like Arisa and Aina, there is still one important thing left to do.

“Once again, I’m Hayato Domoto. Pleased to meet you.”

“My name is Sakuna Shinjo. If you’re used to calling my daughters by their first name, please feel free to call me by mine as well.”

“…Then… Sakuna-san, is that alright?”

“Un… yes!”

Don’t nod your head with that indescribably cute smile, even though this lady… is an adult.(E/N: Sorry for breaking the news, but we have a winner here. Best Waifu, Sakuna Shinjo’s Debut! I mean it’s rare for me to imagine what the characters are doing while reading but for some reason, here, I did.)

At any rate, I would say that the first impression went well. Sakuna-san left me to get something to drink, but Arisa and Aina pulled my hand away as if to seize the moment.

“Hey, Hayato-kun, we don’t need to stand all the time, let’s sit down.”

“That’s right. Ehehe, I still can’t believe in my eyes that Hayato-kun is in our house.”

She took me by the hand and sat me down on an expensive-looking couch.

I looked around the interior a bit again and it really is a magnificent house. It seems too big for three women to live in, but… that’s right, their father used to be here, if I think about it.

“Thank you for your waiting. Is black tea okay for you, Hayato-kun?”

“I’m totally fine. I’ll take it.”‘

I took a cup of tea that was brought to me and drank it lightly. I don’t often drink black tea, but it was very tasty. It warmed me to the core and made me feel at ease.

“We have some snacks for you.”

“Thank you.”

Though they are being most gracious, on the contrary of what they probably want me to feel, I was actually feeling more and more apologetic…

I mean, something had been bothering me since a while ago. There’s a sensation on both of my sides that has been monopolizing my consciousness for a long time now, at a level where I can’t say that it does not bother me, and you know what it is.

“… Arisa and Aina? You’re kind of too close.”

“Yeah?”

“Oh really?”

Both of them tilted their heads in wonder. Arisa’s were just touching, but Aina’s ample bosoms were so pressed against me that it was distorting the shape of her bosom. Demn! It’s pretty hard for me, who doesn’t have a girlfriend and is also a virgin… No, but, I’ve to endure it with a heart of steel. I can do it!

“You two don’t trouble Hayato-kun too much.”

“Is Hayato-kun in trouble~?”

“…Err.”

Hey don’t say it like that! If I told them I was in trouble here, that would be enough to get them off me. But… but…

“If I bothered you, I’m sorry,” saying that Aina separated her body from me.

“Just kidding. And as I said before, I don’t want to bother you. Now Nee-san too, give him some space.”(E/N: This was also said by Aina since you might get confused.)

“… Though I don’t want to, but okay.”

They both gave me two fistfuls of space.

I let out a sigh of relief, and Sakuna-san smiled at me. The smile didn’t make me feel embarrassed… but it made me feel a little nostalgic, like this is what a mother is like.

“You’re such a sweet child. I can see why these two are so attached to you. And… that kindness, even though he’s still young, I wonder when was the last time I saw such a person… Fufu♪
